Hi volks,

How soon we forget ... Please set your mailing program to send plain text.
Not RTF (rich text) or any other enhanced media format.  Gerry, the server,
and lord of all that is Vanagon List doesn't strip out the redundant swill
that your mailer sends.

For those of us with limited resources, who try to minimize storage and so
on by using DIGEST mode, the inclusion of virtually unreadable html  or  xml
or any other markup language, hypertext, rich text clearly defeats this
purpose.

Grumble grumble...
